Carpeted stairs lead to the first floor and various doors lead off. A ground floor cloaks cupboard offers excellent storage potential.

Suffused with natural light emanating from the large bay window, the lounge, with breath-taking electric feature fireplace with a wood surround and cast-iron insert, is the perfect space in which to relax and unwind with family and friends. The décor, including brushed chrome switches and sockets, is tasteful and in a classical British style, and the space is finished with a sumptuous quality carpet.

The well-placed and well-equipped kitchen-diner extends the width of the property and is glorious. Finished with the same Amtico flooring which creates a seamless transition between the different areas, the Wren kitchen, refitted a year ago, offers a good number of wall and base units with a light-coloured shaker-style door complemented by a rust-copper toned work surface with a matching upstand. There is a black resin sink, a high specification AEG induction hob beneath a black chimney-style extractor fan and a black glass splashback, a self-cleaning Bosch electric oven, a fully integrated fridge and an integrated full sized AEG dishwasher.

French doors open into the rear garden adding to the wealth of natural light illuminating this superb kitchen-diner, whilst there is a tremendous amount of space in the dining end of the room to accommodate a dining table and chairs in addition to sofas and a dresser, making it a wonderfully sociable space.

A useful and practical utility space presents plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer beneath further matching units to those of the kitchen and light cream toned splash back tiling with white grouting. The same kitchen flooring extends here and into the ground floor WC which comprises a close-coupled toilet with a push button, a white vanity unit with a tap on top and a chrome heated towel rail. This space has been fully tiled in an attractive natural stone colour and is a superb feature of the home as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities.

Taking the stairs to the first floor the landing opens to 3 beautifully carpeted double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an airing cupboard which houses the modern pressurised hot water cylinder which facilitates the upgraded heating system.

The primary bedroom is a spacious double room exuding opulence.

The family bathroom, with a window allowing for natural light, is a good size and comprises a close-coupled toilet with a push button, a white bath with shower taps and an attractive tile surround and a pedestal wash hand basin.

The rear garden has been carefully landscaped to take full advantage of the superb outside space. The composite decking with a wooden balustrade extends the width of the property and is the ideal space in which to enjoy the al fresco dining experience with family and friends. In addition, there is a paved area leading to a step up to the lawn and a border planted with mature shrubs and bushes. The garden is securely fenced to allow children and family pets to play safely and there is a gate providing access to the single garage, with power and lighting, which is in a block to the rear of the property. A truly stunning home immaculately presented radiating quality and style from each and every perspective.
